ResultThe European core occupational profile Eco-Recycler is the result of systematically conducted surveys by the project group RecyOccupation in the United Kingdom, Spain, in Greece, and in Germany. The findings of the surveys shaped this core profile for a European occupational profile in the closed loop and waste economy.
In the surveyed countries, training measures are still rare and sporadic and concentrate principally on the waste disposal and waste management sectors. This means that training measures address “end-of-the-pipe” strategies, but there are no qualification measures available adequately to address recycling tasks.
This core occupational profile is suitable to overcome the qualification deficiencies at the (skilled) worker level. Due to the focus on work processes, the curriculum offers the opportunity to be integrated into the different vocational educational systems without a loss in quality.
